1<script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Wann brauche ich ein Gutachten?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Immer dann, wenn eine belastbare und nachvollziehbare Wertaussage gefordert ist. Typische Anlässe sind Scheidung und Zugewinnausgleich, Erbschaft und Erbauseinandersetzung, Kauf oder Verkauf einer Immobilie, steuerliche Nachweise gegenüber dem Finanzamt sowie Zwangsversteigerungsverfahren. Auch bei gesellschaftsrechtlichen Auseinandersetzungen oder zur Absicherung von Investitionsentscheidungen kann ein Gutachten erforderlich sein. Im Erstgespräch klären wir, welcher Umfang in Ihrem Fall sinnvoll ist."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Welche Objektarten bewerten Sie?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Wir bewerten Wohn-, Gewerbe- und Spezialimmobilien. Unser Leistungsspektrum umfasst Eigentumswohnungen, Ein- und Zweifamilienhäuser, Mehrfamilienhäuser, Wohn- und Geschäftshäuser, Gewerbeimmobilien sowie unbebaute Grundstücke. Darüber hinaus bewerten wir Sonderfälle wie Erbbaurechte, denkmalgeschützte Objekte und Immobilien mit besonderen Rechten oder Belastungen."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Reicht eine Kurzeinschätzung oder brauche ich ein Vollgutachten?","acceptedA
1nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Wir erstellen keine Kurzgutachten, sondern ausschlieÃlich vollständige Gutachten. Wir erstellen keine Kurzgutachten. Der fachliche Aufwand für Datenerhebung, Prüfung und Bewertung ist nahezu identisch, während ein Kurzgutachten nicht die erforderliche Vollständigkeit und Nachvollziehbarkeit bietet. Als öffentlich bestellte und vereidigte Sachverständige (ö.b.u.v.) legen wir daher Wert auf vollständige, belastbare Gutachten mit klarer Herleitung â insbesondere, wenn Ergebnisse vor Gericht, gegenüber dem Finanzamt oder in Verhandlungen Bestand haben sollen."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Können Erfolgsaussichten vorab beurteilt werden?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Eine erste fachliche Einschätzung ist möglich, eine verbindliche Prognose nicht. Bei steuerlichen und verfahrensbezogenen Fragestellungen können wir die Ausgangslage vorab fachlich einordnen. Bei Erbschaftsteuer ist es häufig sinnvoll, zunächst den Bescheid bzw. die Bewertung des Finanzamts abzuwarten. Erst auf dieser Grundlage lässt sich seriös einschätzen, ob ein Gutachten voraussichtlich einen relevanten Mehrwert bietet."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Wie lange dauert die Erstellung eines Gutachtens?","acceptedA
1nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Aufgrund hoher Auslastung dauert die Fertigstellung bei uns meist mindestens ein halbes Jahr. Wir sind glücklicherweise meist sehr gut ausgelastet. Deshalb beträgt die Bearbeitungszeit für ein Gutachten in unserem Haus in der Regel mindestens sechs Monate bis zur Fertigstellung. Der genaue Zeitraum hängt zusätzlich von der Unterlagenlage, der Komplexität des Objekts und der Art des Auftrags ab."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Welche Unterlagen muss ich bereitstellen?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Je mehr Unterlagen vorliegen, desto schneller und präziser können wir arbeiten. Wir freuen uns über Grundrisse, Wohnflächenberechnungen, Baubeschreibungen, Mieterlisten, Abrechnungen und Wirtschaftspläne. Alles kann, nichts muss: Fehlende Unterlagen sind kein Problem und können in vielen Fällen nachgereicht oder von uns beschafft werden."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Muss ich beim Ortstermin dabei sein?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Ihre Anwesenheit ist hilfreich, aber nicht zwingend erforderlich. Beim Ortstermin wird die Immobilie besichtigt und dokumentiert. Es ist sinnvoll, wenn Sie oder eine bevollmächtigte Person den Zugang ermöglicht und für Rückfragen zur Verfügung steht. Falls Sie verhindert sind, lässt sich der Termin auch mit einem Beauftragten durchführen. In vielen Fällen dauert die Besichtigung etwa eine halbe Stunde, bei komplexeren Projekten entsprechend länger."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Wie setzen sich die Kosten zusammen?","acceptedA
1nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Bei Privatgutachten richten sich die Kosten nach Aufwand, Belastungen und Komplexität. Bei Privatgutachten kalkulieren wir unser Honorar als Pauschale auf Basis des tatsächlichen Aufwands, der objektspezifischen Belastungen und der Komplexität des Bewertungsfalls. Fahrt- und Vervielfältigungskosten stellen wir nicht gesondert in Rechnung. Zudem orientieren wir uns nicht an Honorartabellen. Hinzu kommen lediglich behördliche Auslagen, die in der Regel bei etwa 150 ⬠netto liegen. Bei gerichtlichen Aufträgen richtet sich die Vergütung nach den Vorgaben des JVEG."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Was kostet ein Gutachten?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Die genaue Höhe ergibt sich aus Anlass, Objekt und Unterlagenlage. Wir arbeiten mit Individualhonoraren, die vom jeweiligen Einzelfall abhängen. MaÃgeblich sind insbesondere Anlass, Objektart, Unterlagenlage und Komplexität. Nach der Erstprüfung kommunizieren wir die voraussichtlichen Kosten offen und transparent."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Kann ich die Gutachterkosten steuerlich absetzen?","acceptedA
1nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"In vielen Fällen ja â abhängig vom Bewertungsanlass. Wird ein Gutachten im Zusammenhang mit der Erbschaftsteuer, der Einkommensteuer oder einer vermieteten Immobilie erstellt, können die Kosten als Werbungskosten, Betriebsausgaben oder Nachlassverbindlichkeiten steuerlich geltend gemacht werden. Die genaue Einordnung hängt vom Einzelfall ab. Wir leisten keine Steuerberatung und empfehlen, die steuerliche Abzugsfähigkeit vorab mit Ihrem Steuerberater zu klären."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Wer trägt die Kosten bei einem gerichtlichen Gutachten?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"In der Regel die Partei, die den Kostenvorschuss leisten muss. Bei gerichtlichen Gutachten ordnet das Gericht einen Kostenvorschuss an, der zunächst von der antragstellenden Partei gezahlt wird. Die Vergütung des Sachverständigen richtet sich nach dem Justizvergütungs- und -entschädigungsgesetz (JVEG). Im Rahmen der Kostenentscheidung am Verfahrensende wird festgelegt, welche Partei die Gutachterkosten endgültig trägt."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Was bedeutet 'öffentlich bestellt und vereidigt'?","acceptedA
1nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Es ist ein besonders anerkanntes Qualitätsmerkmal für Sachverständige. Die öffentliche Bestellung von Sachverständigen nach § 36 der Gewerbeordnung hat das Ziel, besonders qualifizierte, zuverlässige und erfahrene Fachkräfte für Gerichte, Behörden, die Wirtschaft und die Ãffentlichkeit bereitzustellen. Sie erleichtert es, fachlich und persönlich geeignete Experten zu finden, da öffentlich bestellte Sachverständige durch eine zuständige Institution geprüft und auch nach ihrer Vereidigung hinsichtlich fachlicher Eignung und Zuverlässigkeit überwacht werden. Die Bestellung erfolgt im Interesse der Allgemeinheit und dient nicht den persönlichen Zielen des Bewerbers. Sie ist eine Anerkennung besonderer fachlicher Qualifikationen auf Grundlage der Sachverständigenordnung und stellt keine Berufszulassung dar. Wer sich für eine öffentliche Bestellung interessiert, sollte die einschlägigen Vorschriften sorgfältig prüfen."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Wird mein Gutachten vor Gericht anerkannt?","acceptedA
1nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Unsere Gutachten sind auf gerichtliche Anforderungen ausgerichtet. Die Entscheidung liegt immer beim Gericht. Wir prüfen vorab sorgfältig, ob ein Gutachten im konkreten Fall sinnvoll und belastbar ist. Nach unserer internen Dokumentation wurden in den vergangenen 25 Jahren unsere in Gerichtsverfahren eingesetzten Gutachten nicht aufgrund fachlicher Beanstandungen zurückgewiesen. Die abschlieÃende Würdigung und Beweiswürdigung obliegt jedoch stets dem Gericht."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Kann das Finanzamt mein Gutachten ablehnen?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Das Finanzamt kann Einwände erheben, etwa bei formalen oder methodischen Mängeln. Bei einem Verkehrswertgutachten nach § 198 BewG prüft das Finanzamt, ob die formalen und methodischen Anforderungen erfüllt sind. Wenn seitens des Finanzamts Rückfragen oder Unklarheiten bestehen, erfolgt in der Regel eine Aufforderung zur Stellungnahme. Bei Bedarf stehen wir unseren Mandanten auch bei der Erstellung der Stellungnahme unterstützend zur Seite."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"In welchem Gebiet sind Sie tätig?","acceptedA
1nswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Unser Schwerpunkt liegt in Hamburg, je nach Auftrag sind wir auch darüber hinaus tätig. Grundsätzlich sind wir in Hamburg tätig.

After we are commissioned, we review the purpose, scope and available documentation. This is followed by the examination of existing documents, the request for missing records, enquiries with public authorities, where applicable the analysis of the building records, and the on-site inspection. After that, property-specific characteristics, market environment and comparable data are assessed and substantiated in the appraisal. Particularly with older, complex or legally encumbered properties, this effort is considerable.\n\nWe do not produce template appraisals and do not work to a fixed scheme. Every property is inspected in person and assessed taking into account its legal, economic and factual particularities. For this reason, the structure, focus and depth of our appraisals differ depending on the individual case and intended purpose.\n\nIf an appraisal takes several months, this therefore does not mean standstill, but careful processing. At the same time, our capacities are often heavily utilised, which can further extend the processing time. In addition, responses from authorities and external information are not always available at short notice. Anyone who needs an appraisal for court, the tax office or important asset decisions benefits precisely from this thoroughness.1e:T566,Usufruct, right of residence and residential right are among the rights that can significantly influence the value of a property. Economically, however, they must not be treated alike. A usufruct generally grants the most comprehensive right of use, because the beneficiary may use the property themselves and is often also entitled to draw the income from letting it. A right of residence, by contrast, is usually more narrowly defined and is limited to personal occupation. A residential right typically concerns the use of specific rooms or a particular dwelling. From this alone it follows that the economic burden on the ownership can vary considerably depending on the right.\n\nFor the valuation, it therefore always depends on the specific arrangement. The relevant factors include, among others, the content and scope of the right, the areas concerned, the term, the age of the beneficiary, and the question of whether the use is merely personal or also economically exploitable. Particularly in cases of gift, anticipated succession, inheritance or transfers within the family, a precise distinction is important. Anyone who treats the terms as equivalent often underestimates the differences in their effect on value. A sound market value appraisal must therefore capture not only the property, but also the respective right in its specific legal and economic significance.1f:T4d2,Not every planned property sale automatically requires a market value appraisal. In many standard situations, a market price estimate by an experienced estate agent can provide an initial orientation. Anyone who primarily wants to know roughly what order of magnitude an asking price might be in does not in every case immediately need a comprehensive appraisal. The situation is different where there are particular uncertainties, where several parties have a say, where a sale is to take place under time pressure, or where the asking price has to be substantiated reliably.\n\nA market value appraisal is worthwhile above all when an independent and verifiable basis for valuation is required. This can be useful, for example, in the case of high-value individual properties, unusual properties, family coordination, communities of heirs, or where there are significant differences of opinion about the value. Even where the state of modernisation, rights and encumbrances, or property-specific characteristics play a role, an appraisal provides considerably more clarity than a rough market estimate. What is decisive is therefore not the sale itself, but the question of how reliable the valuation needs to be in the specific case.20:T5a1,Missing floor plans, living-area figures or building documents are no reason to postpone an enquiry. Complete documents are helpful for a market value appraisal, but they are not always fully available at the outset. In an initial consultation, it can usually be clarified quickly which documents are already available, what still needs to be procured, and which information can be supplemented during the course of the work. Particularly with older properties, inheritance cases or long-held properties, an incomplete set of documents is nothing unusual.\n\nIt is also important to note: many documents can still be requested from authorities at a later stage. The building records in particular often yields value-relevant information, for example on permits, plans, areas, conversions or structural particularities. Not everything therefore has to be fully available at the outset. Often a missing set of documents can be sensibly supplemented during the course of the work.\n\nWhat is decisive is not perfection at the start, but a realistic assessment of the case. Missing information can increase the effort and, in individual cases, also affect the processing time. However, it does not automatically mean that an appraisal is
1impossible. What matters is a careful examination of which details can be reliably substantiated and where further clarification is needed. This is precisely where we support our clients from the very beginning.21:T460,Digital property calculators generally work with simplified models and few input data. Location, year of construction, living area and property type can be recorded in a standardised way, but many value-relevant particularities of a property cannot. The state of modernisation, structural defects, rights and encumbrances, atypical floor plans or property-specific market conditions often remain unconsidered in such models. The result is therefore usually only a rough approximation and not a sound valuation.\n\nA market value appraisal takes a fundamentally different approach. It is based on an inspection of the property, the examination of documents, methodically verifiable reasoning in accordance with the relevant valuation principles, and an assessment of the specific market environment. Especially when it comes to a sale, inheritance, divorce, the tax office or court disputes, a digital estimate is therefore regularly not sufficient. Online calculators can provide an initial orientation, but they do not replace an independent appraisal when a reliable and verifiable basis for decision-making is required.22:T4e5,A common misconception in property valuation is that modernisation backlogs or neglected maintenance can automatically be deducted in full from the market value. In fact, what matters is not solely the calculated tradesman's costs, but the question of how the defect affects the market. A roof in need of renovation, outdated building services or a modernisation backlog do regularly reduce the value, but not necessarily by the amount of the calculated remediation costs. Buyers take into account not only the cost but also the remaining usability, the overall condition of the property and the situation on the market.\n\nIn addition, a renovation often not only remedies a defect but at the same time creates a better condition than before. In valuation terms, the principle of \"new for old\" therefore also plays a role. Anyone who, for example, fully renews old components not only restores the previous condition but often gains a longer remaining useful life and better marketability. In appraisals it must therefore be carefully derived which reduction in value actually applies. A flat one-to-one deduction falls short in many cases. What is always decisive is the specific market situation and the verifiable valuation of the individual property.23:T516,The biggest problem with rental value appraisals today is the availability of comparable data. To determine a market-appropriate rent, we need reliable comparable rents from the respective market segment. Yet many municipalities lack a qualified rent index, and where one exists it often does not cover all dwelling sizes, years of construction or locations. At the same time, the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) requires the survey to cover the entire municipality and to be based on a representative sample. Appraisals that draw only on individual estates or landlords are unusable in court.\n\nIn addition, there is the regulatory complexity. The rent control mechanism (Mietpreisbremse) has been extended until the end of 2029, and each federal state issues its own ordinances with different exceptions. In Hamburg it applies across the board. With every valuation it must be examined whether the control applies and how capping limits or staggered-rent arrangements are to be taken into account. All of this makes rental value appraisals considerably more involved today than just a few years ago. In some cases an expert valuation is simply not possible because the necessary basis of comparable data is missing. Where no reliable data is available, no sound appraisal can be produced either.24:T47d,An estate agent's estimate and a market value appraisal pursue different objectives. Estate agents provide an initial market price recommendation, which can offer helpful orientation for a sale. However, this estimate is non-binding and has no standing in court or with the tax office.\n\nA market value appraisal is based on Section 194 of the German Building Code (BauGB) and the Real Estate Valuation Ordinance (ImmoWertV). We inspect the property on site and document every calculation step in a verifiable manner. The result holds up in court and is recognised by tax offices, banks and courts. Such an appraisal is mandatory, among other things, in cases of inheritance disputes, divorce, evidence of value to the tax office or compulsory auctions.\n\nThe essential difference lies in the independence. Estate agents do good work in marketing, but they are commission-dependent and thus economically involved in the success of the sale. An appraiser, by contrast, assesses on a
1strictly neutral basis and without any own interest in the outcome.

An appraisal may also be necessary for disputes under company law or to safeguard investment decisions. In the initial consultation we clarify which scope makes sense in your case.\"},{\"question\":\"Which types of property do you appraise?\",\"summary\":\"We appraise residential, commercial and special-use properties.\",\"answer\":\"Our range of services covers condominiums, single- and two-family houses, apartment buildings, residential and commercial buildings, commercial properties as well as undeveloped land. In addition, we appraise special cases such as heritable building rights, listed buildings and properties with special rights or encumbrances.\"},{\"question\":\"Is a brief assessment enough, or do I need a full appraisal?\",\"summary\":\"We do not prepare brief appraisals, only complete appraisals.\",\"answer\":\"We do not prepare brief appraisals. The professional effort required for data collection, review and valuation is almost identical, while a brief appraisal does not offer the necessary completeness and traceability. As publicly appointed and sworn experts (ö.b.u.v.), we therefore place value on complete, robust appraisals with clear reasoning â particularly where results need to hold up in court, before the tax office or in negotiations.\"},{\"question\":\"Can the prospects of success be assessed in advance?\",\"summary\":\"An initial professional assessment is possible, but a binding forecast is not.\",\"answer\":\"For tax-related and procedural questions, we can classify the starting situation in advance from a professional perspective. In the case of inheritance tax, it is often sensible to first await the assessment notice or the valuation by the tax office.

It is sensible if you or an authorised person provides access and is available for any questions. If you are unavailable, the appointment can also be carried out with a representative. In many cases the inspection takes about half an hour, and correspondingly longer for more complex projects.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Costs \u0026 tax\",\"questions\":[{\"question\":\"How are the costs made up?\",\"summary\":\"For private appraisals, the costs depend on effort, encumbrances and complexity.\",\"answer\":\"For private appraisals we calculate our fee as a flat rate based on the actual effort, the property-specific encumbrances and the complexity of the valuation case. We do not charge travel and reproduction costs separately. Nor do we base our fees on fee schedules. The only additional items are official disbursements, which are usually around â¬150 net. For court-appointed assignments, the remuneration is governed by the provisions of the JVEG (German Judicial Remuneration and Compensation Act).\"},{\"question\":\"What does an appraisal cost?\",\"summary\":\"The exact amount results from the occasion, the property and the available documents.\",\"answer\":\"We work with individual fees that depend on the specific case. The decisive factors are in particular the occasion, the type of property, the availability of documents and the complexity. Following the initial review, we communicate the expected costs openly and transparently.\"},{\"question\":\"Can I deduct the appraisal costs from my taxes?\",\"summary\":\"In many cases yes â depending on the occasion for the appraisal.\",\"answer\":\"If an appraisal is prepared in connection with inheritance tax, income tax or a rented property, the costs can be claimed for tax purposes as income-related expenses, business expenses or estate liabilities. The exact classification depends on the individual case. We do not provide tax advice and recommend clarifying tax deductibility in advance with your tax advisor.\"},{\"question\":\"Who bears the costs of a court-appointed appraisal?\",\"summary\":\"Generally the party required to pay the advance on costs.\",\"answer\":\"For court-appointed appraisals, the court orders an advance on costs, which is initially paid by the applicant party. The expert's remuneration is governed by the German Judicial Remuneration and Compensation Act (JVEG). As part of the decision on costs at the end of the proceedings, it is determined which party ultimately bears the appraisal costs.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Court \u0026 tax office\",\"questions\":[{\"question\":\"What does 'publicly appointed and sworn' mean?\",\"summary\":\"It is a particularly recognised quality mark for experts.\",\"answer\":\"The public appointment of experts under Section 36 of the German Trade Regulation Act (Gewerbeordnung) aims to provide particularly qualified, reliable and experienced specialists for courts, authorities, businesses and the public. It makes it easier to find experts who are professionally and personally suitable, since publicly appointed experts are vetted by a competent institution and, even after being sworn in, are monitored with regard to their professional suitability and reliability. The appointment is made in the public interest and does not serve the personal goals of the applicant. It is a recognition of particular professional qual
1ifications on the basis of the experts' code of conduct and does not constitute a professional licence. Anyone interested in a public appointment should carefully review the relevant regulations.\"},{\"question\":\"Will my appraisal be recognised in court?\",\"summary\":\"Our appraisals are geared to court requirements. The decision always rests with the court.\",\"answer\":\"We carefully assess in advance whether an appraisal is sensible and robust in the specific case. According to our internal records, over the past 25 years our appraisals used in court proceedings have not been rejected on professional grounds. The final evaluation and assessment of evidence, however, always rests with the court.\"},{\"question\":\"Can the tax office reject my appraisal?\",\"summary\":\"The tax office can raise objections, for example in the case of formal or methodological deficiencies.\",\"answer\":\"In the case of a market value appraisal under Section 198 of the German Valuation Act (BewG), the tax office reviews whether the formal and methodological requirements are met. If the tax office has queries or uncertainties, it usually issues a request for a statement. Where needed, we also support our clients in preparing this statement.\"}]},{\"title\":\"Region \u0026 cooperation\",\"questions\":[{\"question\":\"In which area do you operate?\",\"summary\":\"Our focus is on Hamburg; depending on the assignment we also operate beyond it.\",\"answer\":\"In principle we operate in Hamburg.
